Orland police patrol car runs over dog off leash

A dog was run over and injured by an Orland Police Department patrol vehicle on Monday, when a sergeant was attempting to contact its owner, according to the Police Department.

At about 5:30 p.m., two Orland police personnel were sent to Walker Street west of Porter Lane to contact Alexandria Acosta, who was walking on Walker Street, according to police. As one of the sergeants approached Acosta in his marked patrol car, her dogs charged the vehicle.

The dogs were reportedly not on a leash and one of them, a Pomeranian, was run over by the left rear tire, according to a press release. The officers and Acosta stated the patrol car was going between 10 and 15 mph.

Glenn County Animal Control responded and took the injured dog to Burnham Veterinary Clinic for treatment.
